Arctic Monkeys was AWESOME!

i started in the middle of the crowd
and when they actually started to play [the feeling was unbelievable i tell u!]
i got pushed back and forth,and separated from zahid,
and nearly fell down,and choked,and got elbowed in my chest
when whadya know
i ended up in the first row!
front and center baby with Alex Turner right in front of ME!
wahouuuuuuuuuu

i cannot describe to u how amazing it was
just watch the videos
but still that doesnt do it justice
and even tho i hav bruises on my chest,
and both my arms are sore
and got kicked in the head not once,or twice,but THRICE
courtesy of the many drunk ppl carried over my head,heh
it was so WORTH IT.

the very beginning - when they started playin i swear i got goosebumps!



'When the sun goes down" is my all-time fav because of the slow start,then it suddenly goes fast...And also because of the reference to that old the Police song about "Roxanne" putting on her red light ;)



of course u hav to hav "Fluorescent Adolescent" ;)



"Brianstorm" was quite good



The end was AWESOME



and LOTS more videos of "Teddy Picker" and "I bet you look good on the dance floor" and "505"
but i cant post everything here,
and some ppl might not be as enamoured as i am,haha
so im just sharing the videos i love :)
seee u S O O N.

vanilla ice cream and caramel fudge cake courtesy of JENNY
and i bought some christmas biscuits as well :)

we had fun w/ the secret santa
Daria turned out to be mine!
And it was such a shock cuz she told me she was Hayley's!
She would come to my room and tell me she didnt buy hayley a present bla bla
and she made evryone promise not to tell me
i felt so touched
and she bought me the most AWESOME gift!
Monica was Daria's and she got her a pair of knickers from lasenza
it was adorable :)
i was jenny's and i got her a frame w/ all our pictures in it like a HAIRSPRAY poster
hayley said "that is so iman"
i agree :)

and hayley brought christmas crackers so we held hands and pulled it together
and wore our funny christmas hats throughout dinner
and laughed,and made jokes,and enjoyed great food
like i said, it was MAGICAL :))
